Happy Halloween from Land Rover San Jose! Tips to Drive Safe!

Happy Halloween friends!

Are you leery about driving during the peak hours of trick-or-treating? Here are some safety tips to help avoid accidents!

• Drive slowly, and don't pass stopped vehicles. The driver might be dropping off children.

• Park your mobile phone. Avoid distractions by waiting until you've stopped to call, text, or surf.

• Watch for children darting into the street. Kids can cross the street anywhere, and most young pedestrian deaths happen at spots other than intersections.

• Yield to young pedestrians. Children might not stop, either because they don't see your vehicle approaching or don't know how to safely cross the street.

• Communicate with other drivers. Always use your turn signals. And if you have to pull over to drop off or pick up your kids, turn on your hazard lights.

Favorite Local Hikes: Berry Creek Falls Loop

Are you a fan of day hikes?

Check out this local favorite!

Berry Creek Falls Loop at Big Basin Redwoods State Park - Long hike through old-growth redwoods to shimmering waterfalls is a Bay Area favorite.


Overview: Redwoods and waterfalls make this the best hike in the San Francisco Bay Area.

If you're up for 11 miles and a thousand feet of elevation gain spread out over a half-day, you'll be amazed to see the strain melt away in this land of the giants.

Veteran Berry Creek Falls hikers recommend a counter-clockwise loop starting on the Sunset Trail, turning left on to the Berry Creek Falls Trail, taking another left onto the Skyline-to-the-Sea trail, which returns to the trailhead.

When to go: This hike can be done in almost any weather. Winter rains bring greater flow to the falls, but the shorter days create a greater risk of running out of daylight.

Tips: Buy a map at the park HQ - it's easy to get lost at Big Basin without one.

If you see a banana slug, resist the urge to pick it up. Salt on human skin is damaging to the slug's moist exterior.

What to bring
Map: Buy one at the park HQ.
Layers: It's often very cool in the redwoods but warm in the sun.
Camera
Proper hiking gear (and food/water)
